Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart has candidly revisited her "Twilight" days, admitting that she and co-star Robert Pattinson were "such losers" during the filming of the iconic vampire romance. Stewart, who played Bella Swan, reflected on their intense and perhaps overly serious approach to the roles.

Speaking on the podcast "In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele," Stewart recalled the period surrounding the 2008 release of the first "Twilight" film. She described herself and Pattinson as being "so into it" and "so serious" about the characters and the phenomenon they had become.

Stewart's self-deprecating comments highlight a moment of retrospective clarity about the pressures and perceptions surrounding the massively popular franchise. The films, based on Stephenie Meyer's novels, propelled Stewart and Pattinson to global superstardom, but also subjected them to intense media scrutiny and fan devotion.

While Stewart has since moved on to a diverse range of critically acclaimed roles, her reflections offer a humorous and relatable glimpse into the mindset of young actors navigating immense fame and the intense world of a blockbuster franchise.

We were in such a good space, like, we were just like, 'We're going to make this thing, and it's going to be so good.' And we were just like, such losers, like, we were so into it.
